WILD WOMEN MTB WEEKEND
PROGRAM SPECIALLY MADE FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN!
Women just do things differently than men and there’s nothing like getting together and sharing a great adventure with a group of like-minded women

D1 – VÍK Í MÝRDAL
We begin the tour with an approximately three-hour drive along the south shore to Vik, a small village surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and steep mountains on the other side. From the village we climb up the 300 meters Mt. Reynisfjall followed by an epic single track along the edge of mountain cliffs. The view over the Atlantic Ocean and the black beach of Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara, including a 66 m high rock pillars that rise out of the sea, is stunning. The second part of the ride starts with a climb to the top of Mt. Hatta and down by fantastic single track all the way to the village again.Ride: Distance 20 kmElevation: Gain / loss 950 m
